    I loved all mine, possibly technique, they do recoil more than you expect but just let it do its thing, follow through properly and admire the accuracy.

    My fenman is quite sharp to shoot but the cross hairs don't move much on firing and its very accurate, great gun.

    It's just you of course! I've a couple (Taunus (H.E.) and Sirocco (non-H.E. and long barrel)) and both are fine. The Sirocco is perhaps a little less "snappy" - perhaps down to the barrel length, but no real difference in feel in any of the three calibres that I have in rammers.

    My only Theoben is a .22” HE Sirocco.

    I hate the way it shoots.

    I love the way it hits what it’s aimed at.

    Which is ultimately the only thing that really matters, I guess.

    My. 20cal is more snappy than my other three . 22cal rammers. My sirocco grand prix with the long barrel is the sweetest to shoot of them all.

    Traded my .177 Theoben Evolution for a close to mint 1989 HW85.
    I often regret sales or trades, but not this time

    I have a .177 Evolution, a .20 Evolution, and a .22 Sirocco.
    The .177 Evo is probably the hardest to shoot consistently, which becomes a self buggering mechanism as it then leads to being the one I shoot the less.
    Regards,
    Dave.

    Then make it the first one you go to and master it, the others will then become easier to shoot.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I really liked my 177 Fenman, ran it at full uk as in 11.5, never had a problem
    It was a bit loud on cocking (clunky when barrel clicked shut)
    I only sold it as I knew servicing would be required and the thoughts of dealing with Theoben just sent steam out of my ears
    They had an abominable attitude in general and it was so unsurprising when they went tits up as so many shooters and shops had the same experiences as well as it being notorious on tinternet forums such as this

    Good guns that would probably still be being sold with a different attitude and good front man IMO
    Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34
